Flaying out the Blockchain Ledger for Fun, Profit, and Hip HopAndrew Morris

If somebody tweets about having $15 million dollars worth of Bitcoin stolen, how hard would it be to figure out if they were lying? In this talk, I will discuss parsing the Bitcoin blockchain ledger and putting the data into a more searchable and easily-analyzed database, correlating social media posts with transaction timestamps and historical exchange rates, and other interesting observations and use-cases. Finally, I will release the code to allow others to ask questions more easily of the blockchain ledger and discuss future plans.
